As for the Yankees, they got 8 strong innings courtesy of Ivan Nova and that was just enough to earn the win over the Reds — Nova’s 7th victory of the season. Things got a little dicey late, as Luis Ayala and Boone Logan failed to hold the 4-run lead, which forced Joe Girardi to call upon Mariano Rivera, who nailed down his 18th save of the season.

We heard from John Sterling of course and Russell Martin, who endeared himself to Craig – and Yankee fans alike – for something he did over the weekend.
